I started watching Idles, but the second song was a bit crap so I switched over. Perhaps I need to give them another go.
re coldplay, I absolutely hate their music and wouldn't go near their set but I remember their tribute to Viola Beach at their last headline set (2016?) and it was really touching to be fair. I just thought that most bands wouldn't have gone there for 'cool' reasons. Cant imagine Liam gallagher doing a tribute like that. But, yeah, still can't stand them 🙂 Its the middle classness and unit shifting as well as the dullness
Idles great.
Couldn't listen to the Orbital set all the way through. Tilda Swinton what was that about!?!

I thought she was great and as posted previously - Mel C / Spicey was great as well.
Otoboke Beaver's guitarist baiting the crowd with Woo Hoo by the 5678s was funny. Doubt it's the first time she's tried that. Very good set.
Watching The Streets now.
Really good, but Mike Skinner is dressed like he's come to deliver my new fridge.
Little Simz was good. Soft Play are entertaining and as expected loud!
On my way back from Glastonbury and had a great time that went a bit like this…
- Squeeze
- Bar-Stewards of Val Doonican (chatted to the vocalist after)
- Paul Heaton
- PJ Harvey
- LCD Soundsystem
- Fontaines D.C.
- Cyndi Lauper (briefly)
- Last Dinner Party
- Fat White Family
- Kasabian
- Camila Cabello
- The Streets
- Newton Faulkner
- New Model Army
- The Zutons
- Soft Play
- James
- Nothing But Thieves
- Avril Lavigne
- Burna Boy
- SZA
I enjoyed all of it (Fontaines and NMA being particular highlights) up until Burna Boy and SZA - I went to the Pyramid to get a good spot for SZA as I like her stuff so suffered Burna Boy, but it was awful - the place was dead but I thought I’d tough it out in the hope it would pick up but nope - so disappointing.
The highlight for me was getting right to the very front (ie, on the barrier - the close-up cameraman kept avoiding the old bloke and concentrated on the pretty girls around me 😹) for PJ Harvey and LCD Soundsystem.
I’ll sleep well tonight…
NMA...fair play, amazing band. 🤜
NMA…fair play, amazing band.
It was amazing - whilst 150,000 people were watching Coldplay, I was with about 150 people jumping around to NMA - how they never got bigger than they did, I’ll never know, but they were as tight as anything and it was great to be so close up to them.
Not seen them since Marshall left, but have been watching them since 1989...most of my tattoos are NMA related. Glad they smashed it, and sounds like you packed a lot I to your weekend!
By the Sunday I’d had enough so just sat at The Other Stage for most of the day 😹
Didn't know NMA were playing.
I saw them at Reading must have been in the very early nineties.
My only and rubbish mistake tattoo was based around the Thunder and Consolation artwork. 😂
Bloc Party are great.
Made better by Kele wearing a Bad Brains t-shirt 🙂
Is the Gossip set on iPlayer? Can only find one track.
Coldplay effortlessly pleasing the masses ... me included (staged making up of ditties about crowd plants not with standing)
IDLES .... Inspired me to listen to their new album yesterday, cant remember the last time I ever listened to a full album !! It was good, I like the direction they are headed but hope they don't sell out.
Fontaines... agreed
PJ ... she's still got it
Soft Play .. for sh1t5 n giggles.
looking forward to watching some more
Soft Play .. for sh1t5 n giggles.
They were really good, but for added extra sh1t5 n giggles hunt out the Fat White Family set 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 I have never experienced anything quite like them.
Bar Italia.
I think I've only heard one of their songs (second one in their set) on Six Music before.
Really like them. Kind of a raw lo-fi sound. Reminds me of Eric's Trip and the like.
